In this work, a new route for improving the absorbing performance of glass fibers (GFs) composites by introducing the reduced graphene oxide (RGO)/polypyrrole (PPy)/RGO coatings through the self‐assembly method and then the in‐situ polymerization method was proposed. The corresponding microstructure and electromagnetic parameters were measured by scanning electron microscopy, X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and vector network analyzer. The result indicated that the RGO/PPy/RGO coatings can adjust the absorbing performance of GFs composites by its synergistic effect, thus exhibiting optimum impedance matching degree and high conduction loss ability. The minimum reflection loss value of the synthesized RGO/PPy/RGO/GFs composite can reach −55.8 dB with the thickness of 4.3 mm, and the effective absorption bandwidths (≤−10 dB) covered the entire X‐band. This work proved that the RGO/PPy/RGO coatings can be used to adjust the radar absorbing performance of GFs composites.
